I installed the cages on my 2012 C-14 and had significant issues. Glad I did, but it was a hassle.
When I screwed the forward bolt in it got tight then froze. Could not get it out. For the like of of me I could not figure out what the issue was. The dealer picked it up and found the issue. The replacement bolts for the fwd mount were chrome plated, and just a touch larger than the OEM hole.
The dealer used a wire wheel to take the plating off and the other bolt went in fine. For the bolt that froze they had to tap the hole for a bigger bolt. Very poor engineering. I spent a number of years as an Aircraft Maintenance Officer in the Army, I have never seen such a dumb idea as plating the bolt and making it too big.
I had heard a lot of great reviews on this product and was profoundly disappointed with some of the parts supplied, and about $150 lighter in the wallet to fix an issue that should not have happened in the first place had they not plated the bolts.

Because of reading this thread when it was running, I took extra care in fitting the supplied hardware when installing my Canyon cages two weeks ago.
I installed the side bag guards first and the left side went on without a problem. On the right side I could not get the nut on the bolt that goes through the foot peg threaded enough to go through the nylon of the nut, it would go on only about 2 turns and then would seize up. I thought I may have cross threaded it so I cut the first 4 threads off and tried again, only to get the same result.
I called MCE and explained what happened and they sent another nut and bolt out to replace the bad ones.
On the fronts, after removing the first front motor bolt I ran a tap through the hole to clean the old thread locker out and tried to run the new hardware through the hole. It threaded in less than 1/2" and started to tighten up more than I felt comfortable with so I removed it and tested the OEM bolt. The OEM bolt threaded right in smoothly with just my fingers so I ran the new bolt through a die to see how it fit. I could not run the new hardware through the die with out putting it in a vice to hold it. After running the bolt through the die 3 times I tried it in the motor mount and was able to get it all the way in using mild force with a ratchet.
When I got to the other side, I ran the new bolt through the die before even trying to install it. When running it through the first time, quite a bit of the chrome coating was cut off by the die.
I would recommend that anyone trying to install MCE's Canyon cages or side bag guards check the supplied hardware before attempting to install the guards.
